said the job cuts would primarily take place outside the united states but nearly a third of the company's swiss workforce is set to go and sixteen hundred employees in germany are also likely to lose their jobs. it's of course a story that affects the many many people who want to discuss this with our financial correspondent on wall street gets caught to joining us from new york it's good to see you now general electric is a huge company we are seeing this story similar to the one we also saw siemens how come these enormous companies with huge market research firms working for them can't see such a development in the market coming that is the reason why after running the companies for seventeen years jeffrey immelt had to leave for general electric. just in march actually general electric was saying that they see huge improvement in the power business and that obviously did not materialize but it's also not the first time that there was a misjudgment. that generated place wrong bets in the ninety's for example back then jack welch put high stakes on the financial industry and then the company got hit har

said the job cuts would primarily take place outside the united states but nearly a third of the company's swiss workforce is set to go and sixteen hundred employees in germany are also likely to lose their jobs. now if there's anything we've learned from the financial crisis and its stance taxpayers shouldn't be the ones bailing out the banks ever again ever since the financial crisis central bankers and financial supervisors have been haggling over new rules for banks to avoid future bailouts now the so-called basel committee has reached a compromise on the final block in its overhaul chief mario draghi called the breakthrough a major milestone under the new rules it will be up to central banks to determine how much equity lenders need to keep to buffer risks based on how risky they judge the loans to be until now european and u.s. bank hansberry's had held opposing views on the question the majority of the rules will take effect from twenty twenty twenty. well let's cross over to our financial correspondent corner of booze and in frankfurt corner this been a tedious process that. how did it turn out. w

now, your workforce is largely unionized in the united states, is that right? t you're competing against companies in the united states that often are not unionized, is that right? so is there a big differential now, any longer, between unionized workforce compensation and nonunionized? there still is a bit of a gap there. and i think that's something that we continually work on. i would say the focus with our uaw partners, and we have a very productive relationship of working together, first, on workplace safety, on quality, and on productivity. when you meet with members of congress, do they understand your issues very much? or they really don't understand your issues as much as you think they should? there's a willingness to have a discussion and seek to understand. there hasn't been a single member of government that i've met that hasn't wanted to understand how our business operates, how we create jobs, and what leads to success. none of them say, "can you get me a discount on a general motors car?" we can't for government officials. you can't do that. okay

productivity according to a new report out by standard & poor's, women who leave the workforce or never enter it have cost the united statesatly. s&p says the u.s. economy would be $1.6 trillion bigger today if women in america entered and stayed in the workforce at the same rate women in norway have. what does that mean? if we look at the oecd numbers for labor force participation rate of women in norway and the united states, we can see that the two countries had essentially the same percentage of working age women in their labor forces in 1972. but after that, norway's percentage of women working grew much faster than america's and sayed much higher. indeed the past two decades, american women have gradually been staying at home as the country's female participation rate dropped by nearly three percentage points. during the same time period, female workforce participation rate in countries like estonia, france and canada, were up by more than six percentage points. so, why is america lagging behind? the study's author told gps there are many reasons for male gender bias to tax disincentives. and, of course, there's reas

what if we saw the pace of women entering the workforce in the united states faster to what would be other countries and what we saw was the u.s. economy would grow much more dramatically than in the past. in fact, if we followed norway's path of women entering the workforce, the u.s. economy today would be $1.6 trillion bigger than it is right now. that means $5,000 in each person's pocketbook. >> how do you compare the united states to norway? norway is roughly the side of a small state. what are they doing that they could, on a scalable basis, do to have that same kind of impact? >> we focused on norway because we all started in the same place. 1970, we're about the same. but other countries also follow suit. in the united states, we're the only country of the countries we examined that have no parental or maternity paid leave mandated by law. that holds women back. particularly since women are, indeed, still the primary caregivers for children, it matters. >> but maternity and paternity care is only for the child's first six months to a year of life. it's the next 18 years when y

so i don't think it hurts necessarily the united states, but i think it will put pressure on the california workforce in high state tax jurisdictions. is,y: so, the big question what are you doing next? any interest in reentering politics, or have politics become too toxic? be andll, i will not elected politics again. i can't imagine it. i tried my hand at that in 2010. i learned a tremendous amount. i am a better ceo for it. but i think it is probably not my future. and so, i am not sure what i will do. i will surly take some time off. i have been working pretty hard and continuously since i was 22 years old. so i will take time off and see what the future reveals. and i'm a big believer that things reveal themselves. if you told me after the 2010 governor's race that i would be the ceo of hp, i would tell you there's no possible way. and yet, it did. we will see what comes next. emily: our exclusive interview with hp's ceo meg whitman. onto another revolving door, speculation over disney's ceo bob iger's successor. it is now down to a single candidate. ahead of disney's parks and resorts division i

baltimore at the time of the civil war was the third-largest city in the united states, second only to new york city in immigration. the workforce of the b&o railroad was heavily laden with german and irish immigrants. he lived in the neighborhood and worked here. as a yard man, he had the most dangerous job on the railroad. at that time, there was a lincoln penn system. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the yard man had to stand between the locomotive and the rail car pulling and dropping , pins. these are people who lost hands, feet, and legs more often than anybody else. the characters portrayed in this exhibit are a collaboration of all the personnel at the museum. we were able to document specific people who had specific jobs during the war years or interacted with the railroad. as the baltimore and ohio railroad penetrated the allegheny mountains they came in , contact with what would become the state of west virginia. this became the number one commodity moved by the railroad in the pre-civil war years to to address that, the railroad invented these hopper iron railroad cars. this car was built in a properly approximatel

our mission is to insure the united states remains the most attractive destination for foreign direct investment due to the outsized impacts it has on the economy and workforce. 6.8 million workers in the united states take home a paycheck from an international company, including 20% of the u.s. manufacturing workforce, offering 24% higher compensation that the economy wide average. and somewhat counterintuitively, international companies manufacture in the u.s. not just for our consumption but also for worldwide consumption. in fact, u.s. workers at international companies produce about 25% of all u.s. exports. international companies are also tied to their communities. they provide world-class training and world-class workforce training and help strengthen the communities in which they sustainably operate. for example, toyota, whose kentucky plant is the largest manufacturing facility in the world, is applying its manufacturing know-how to help childrens hospital reduce infection rates with a neonatal intensive care unit. decreasing infection rates by 80%. think about it. a japanese company in kentucky, the largest manufacturing facility they have in the w

pushed to the margins of society and people who are best able to contribute to the united states, contribute to our workforce became members of the community, that's one way to vet and to get around this problem of otherwise radicalization for the fringe members of society. people who's neighbors say they were very unfriendly. didn't get along in the economy and their neighborhood. bringing in people who have skills, speak the language will help with all of this. >> sandra: he says in his final remarks, let me be clear, ending illegal immigration is not hopeless. we can do it. is the president and his administration, are they laying out the right ideas here to tackle this problem? >> no, because as i just said it doesn't really tackle the problem. it is not just terrorism. we have massacres in this country from people born, bred and raised here. bangladesh isn't on the list of muslim countries banned. >> sandra: what is your solution then? >> first i'm not president and never will be but i have to say it's a multi-faceted problem. one of the things we have to do is first of all look, this is not a political

said the job cuts would primarily take place outside the united states but nearly a third of the company's swiss workforce is set to go and sixteen hundred employees in germany are also likely to lose their jobs. if there is one lesson learned from the financial crisis it's that taxpayers shouldn't be bailing out banks after years of haggling central bankers and financial supervisors have come up with a new rule for lenders so called battle committee reaching the compromise u.c.b. chief mario draghi calls it a major milestone until now banks in the e.u. were allowed to assess themselves on how much capital reserves they need to survive a crisis the central banks only performed stress tests now it will be up to the central banks to determine the necessary buffer most of the rules not only this one but the other ones that were agreed on come into effect from twenty twenty two. now it's not an easy task we spoke to our financial correspondent in frankfurt contact bosun and asked how difficult it was for regulators to find common ground. well of course this is a compromise and long lasting comp a compromise w

united states. what we can't tolerate every year welcoming, allowing roughly a million illegal immigrants into the united states to compete particularly in the manual workforceicans, many of them, by the way, hispanics who are affected by illegal immigration, the worst of all. let's make sure we are getting the best people. dagen: steve, thank you, steve cortÉs, great to see you as always and president trump, breaking news, tweeting, the massive tax cuts which the fake news med say adesperate to write badly about as to please their democratic bosses will soon be kicking in and will speak for themselves. companies are already making big payments to workers, dems want to raise taxes, hate these big cuts. i will say this, wells fargo, 15-dollar minimum wage announced yesterday, that is what the democrats have been running on, so did you just vote against 15-dollar minimum wage, democrats? i raise that issue. still ahead, the -- it's less about saving money and living better, wal-mart's new plan to give moms a helping hand by saving them a trip to the store and tax reform clearing the final hurdle, we will talk to the counselor to the president, kellyanne conway

participation rate for two decades running and that's the united states it is indicative of the fact that we fall short when it comes to to retraining our workforce in the aftermath of recessions so we have forty percent of all jobs created during the housing boom years that were directly or indirectly related to real estate we didn't retrain them properly so that they would be prepared for the next generation of jobs to come along and in this current recovery we've had three out of every ten jobs go into that eat drink entertain yourself and be sick sectors and a lot of these jobs are going to be vulnerable as well absolutely if we had some great retail numbers just you know whatever ten days ago from black friday cyber monday small business saturday do you expect that that positive path will continue sort of into the holidays and will be reflected into the december numbers any better than than the last couple years that the retail jobs created for the holiday time. well actually if you look at some of the challenger gray and christmas layoffs and hiring statistics we're technically two percent below where we were at the same time last year on t

experienced but also compensation and nation wide, the united states has a crisis we experience about a 33% turnover in the early education workforce annually and the basis we believe in data systems they're imperfect and we see lower rates of turnover in san francisco but still in the 20% range and recruiting, retaining and staffing classrooms is a challenge for us even with programs in place and with we're taking a new approach to our past approachs and they were the cares program which were a stipended or bonus outside of regular bay and the see wages programs which were a portion of costs for teaching staff or assistance for a set number of problems we see the value of early education really being consistency of services and the way to get there is to increase pay and we've taken a new approach with early learning scholarships and advise us in san francisco on a reimbursement rate model that takes in to account compensation so we've moved from specialized programs that are bonus programs so increased reimbursement rates to reflect the cost of personnel single biggest cost in early childhood and it's 85% of the cost and to incre

united states, mr. president, 1.9%. we had th lowest workforce participation rate in over 40 years. in the last eight years, mr. president, we borrowed 35% of every dollar that we spent by the federal government, this body, borrowed before you and i got in the city. in the last eight years and in the last administration, where under six years of that eight years the opposing part in this body had a supermajority for two years, had a majority for four. for six years that party had the white house and they had a majority in this senate at least. in those eight years, they doubled our national debt, from $10 trillion to $20 trillion this year. even though last year, or the last year of the last administration, in 2016, our federal government collected more federal tax than any other year in our history. ithe last few years have been te same. but with all that borrowing, even when the last administration said we need to fix the infrastructure, we need to get the economy going, they put $1 trillion into fake infrastructure investments, mr. president, and none of these parameters -- we st

united states. we are not having enough children. programs like social security and medicare are pay-as-you-go programs. in about 18, 20 years, we don't have enough young workers moving into the workforcee was able to take that little statistic in our conversation, turn it around and say here's another reason we should make a family-friendly tax code, to see if that would also encourage families to actually grow in size. it lets broaden the conversation. >> ed: you have heard of the top of the hour we were talking about magically bernie sanders and others either who are independent and aligned with the democrats or our actual democratic senators and house members all of a sudden are saying the problem is you did not make the middle-class tax cuts permanent. i find that interesting for two reasons. they are calling them middle-class tax cuts after claiming they were for the rich. there is may be progress. secondly, they now want something that they voted against to be permanent. can you explain to me what in the world is going on? >> you nailed it. i'm very impressed. the democrats in the senate could have made those tax cuts permanent instead of having to do the phaseout or the expirat

thousands of talented young immigrants out of the workforce and putting them at risk of immediate deportation. the question we face is very basic. will the united states of america be a better nation if carla is forced to leave? this woman's determination, her drive and her talent have brought her to this glorious moment when she finally graduated college. and with this degree and with this education, she can offer us so much more and really serve america and its future. this is the country she loves. she deserves the respect of this country. and she deserves the determination of the members of senate to take this up as the highest priority in the closing days of this senate session. mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. ms. duckworth: thank you, mr. president. and thank you, senator durbin, for all the work you do on behalf of dreamers throughout the country. your leadership in this effort is absolutely inspiring. i'm here to speak out in favor of passing a clean dream act to create a pathway to citizenship for young immigrants who enrich our country and strengthen our economy an

workforce in the history of the world, mr. president, and yet we have hamstrung them such that other companies can come to the united states andbuy our companies and take those jobs overseas. we need to get this tax rate competitive and as low as possible, otherwise other countries will immediately lower their rate and we'll still be at a significant disadvantage. look, if we don't take bold action right now, we may not get the chance to do so again for another 30 years. we need to make sure we don't get outpaced by other countries, even after we make these tax changes but let me just describe why this is so important. today, with a tax rate of 35%, mr. president, asia averages 18%, europe about 20%, and so if we go to 20%, the rest of the world is going to move. we already know that the united kingdom is moving to 15%. others are talking about it as well. but today we have a 50% differential, and that difference allows countries -- companies in other countries to come to this country, buy our companies, and use that tax differential to pay for part of the acquisition cost. now what that does is that takes jobs overseas and ac

workforce to increase that activity and growth. is that a lesson for the rest of the world? kermit: i think it is. in the united statesng time ago and have forgotten it. this country has been built by immigrants and immigration has our a major contributor to economic growth, in terms of the labor force and productivity. the willingness of immigrants to invest in new businesses and take risk that others might not the willing to take. frankly, i think we are hurting ourselves if we limit legal immigration in this country, and there are people who would like to do that. carol: is that conversation not happening in the nation's capital? have got to be several individuals giving economic advice to the president. they have to understand the ,mportance to improve growth increase the labor force and make everybody reductive. kermit: and encourage those was productive to come to the united states and take advantage of their skills and knowledge and willingness to take risk. carol: do you think the conversation is happening? kermit: i am not a politician and i do not want to be, but i would hope so because this is fundamental,

united states and contribute to our communities and across the country. dreamers are already contributing. more than 90% of these dreamers of the daca recipients are now in school are in the workforce. in fact, 72% of them currently in school are pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher. the american medical shaition urged us -- association has urged us to being -- to take action. noting the shortage of physicians, there is an estimate that passing the dream act could add 5,400 physicians. according to the medical association of medical colleges, more than 100 students with daca status applied to medical school and 70 dreamers are currently enrolled in medical school. in minnesota, our large refugee and immigrant community has contributed so much to the cultural and economic vitality of our state. we are proud to have the second larger mung population. we have the biggest population of smolies, biggest population of sigh birrian -- syberians. ending daca in my state where the unemployment rate is hovering in the 3% range, ending daca would cost minnesota more than $376 in animal revenue. last week on the senate floor, i talked about how i've always tried to find examples of dreamers
